21st step: Seeing the sky [video]

[favorthebold]

[The feed clicks on to a view blurred by heavy rain. In the not-so-far background towers the wall of the Inner City. The figure that peers down at the PCD, shaking the device, is at first shadowed and difficult to make out. A few hard taps later, however, the view clears.

Saul grins at the camera. It's a bit of a shaky grin - he looks exhausted, underfed and somewhat battered, generally the worse for wear. But there's a scary sort of light in those eyes. He looks very pleased with himself.]

Ah - still working. Good, good.

[He chuckles very softly, glancing back at the wall, then again at the device.]

Well, then - doma Bao. I'll be seeing you, I believe.

[That said, Saul's hand drops to his side, affording a brief view of him standing, braced against a building wall, head tilted back and eyes and mouth open to the rain, before he starts moving - slow and stiff but purposeful - and the feed switches off.]



As my fortune holds... be here.

Does it? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the expression.

Hahahaha

[willdateforyen.livejournal.com]

Hm, to put it in easier terms, it sounds like a lovely word.

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Mine is a lovely language.

"Lady" is how you might render it. What is your name?

[willdateforyen.livejournal.com]

Beats hearing people call me kid.

My name is Ai, it's nice to meet you.

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

A man should know his manners. A curious name, Ai, but then I might have grown used to these. I am Saul Samaren.

If it bears asking... how long have you been in this city?

[willdateforyen.livejournal.com]

Agreed! Curious? It means love in Japanese.

Since the start of July.

Yes, I've heard that there is such a language. One day I'll learn it.

July... blast it, I've missed all of summer.
